Cooked this at a friends on Saturday and it was delicious. We had it with chickpea couscous and a spinach salad. We left the olives out as neither of us like them and we caramelized our own onions rather than buying them pre-prepared. Here's the full recipe -
Ingredients1kg/2lb 3Ľoz leg of lamb, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 garlic bulb, separated into cloves, but unpeeled
1 x 350g/12oz can pitted black olives in brine, rinsed and drained to give 150g/5oz drained weight
100g/3˝oz caramelised onions, from a jar
4 tbsp capers, rinsed and drained
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground ginger
1 x 75cl bottle red wine
Method1. Preheat the oven to 150C/300F/Gas 2.
2. Place all of the ingredients into a lidded casserole or heavy-based ovenproof pan, pouring in the wine last and giving everything a good stir.
3. Bring to the boil, then clamp on the lid and transfer to the oven. Cook for two hours, or until the lamb is very tender.
